something i thought was really endearing about blade right from the get-go was how much they cared about the outfits and costuming and theming of it all. i know everyone talks about the cute stuff they wear already but i think going even further into that is how objects and ‘things’ play into the characters’ lives in general…

first thing i realized right when i finished the series was that this photo entrusted to hajime by amane’s father was basically the catalyst for everything that was gonna happen. hajime didn’t understand sentimentality but he starts the show with at least one keepsake (even if it wouldn’t be 'his own' at first, he struggles throughout the show to keep it) and learns about the kind of humanity that cares about these kind of things. he picks up photography, that one undead burns up all the photos in the room he’s staying in, and he watches how upset amane gets when she sees that the photos she (and haruka) held dear have been destroyed… and really everyone he’s surrounded by displays this kinda thing.

the cast of blade is really into mementos, which is probably true about, most people really. off the top of my head, tachibana is attached to the watch he got as a gift from sayoko, they both valued that puzzle as something representative of their connection, mutsuki longingly looked at shima’s + jo’s sealed cards outside battle and while this is very much a consumable rather than a souvenir he did get very sentimental about nozomi’s rice balls, hirose keeps a framed family photo as well and considered keeping the literal tangible memories of her dad, she’s instead left with his wedding ring after trial b’s death… there’s probably lots of other stuff i’m forgetting rn cause everyone has their own possessions. and while these are all mementos of experiences with other people, i think that the things they wore were another part of how they put value and identity into the objects they kept. ofc the riders had all kinds of jewelry and accessories that represented their personal identity as card riders, but i think besides that these things could also express the past bonds they had that were formulative to their identity (tachibana’s watch and 20th stage mutsuki’s ring from shima + tiger print cloth, etcetc). it’s very human to instill memories and experiences into something physical. kenzaki felt a little different to me though.

unlike the others, we don’t really get any of these sentimental flashbacks with something he owns. he honestly doesn’t seem to care about owning much and the most we get in terms of memorable incidents and connections with others are his memories of his parents in the first little bit of the series (which interestingly were so focused on how his parents died and how he regrets it that i can’t even recall if any GOOD flashbacks were shown, his recollection of them just seemed so distant…), and his time at BOARD along with the very influential event of Everything there going to shit. his jacket is arguably the only thing he wears that he’s consistently been attached to, which i thought really fit his whole relationship with the world around him; he has lots of accessories that scream ‘kenzaki’ through blues and spades and whatnot, but he didn’t really have the personal bonds with other people to have something like the others did. no one’s left that sort of mark on him. and in contrast, hajime had photos and framed drawings and a guitar and objects that became important because of those around him before he could even cement how he felt about his own identity. so he gets that heart ring much later after he manages to find himself, with kenzaki’s help.

and that’s why i was so giddy to see kenzaki in the drama cd, forced to travel light and often, keeping two things of sentimental value because of the people who’ve impacted him in the past: the blue spader that was with him throughout his time fighting with the others, and hajime’s photobook. yuppp

this all goes into my thoughts on memories and identities in general (GUY WHO LOOOVED THE NOVEL) but that’ll be for another post. side note also that i am very sorry in advance if i miss something that completely goes against what i’m saying because i watched the series WAY too fast and i would not be surprised if i forgot </3

Are you telling me they’re just out on a date dressed as Aziraphale and Crowley IM GONNA SCREAM😭 what I would give to be in America right now and bump into them

[ii-meeple-confessions]

yknow, we never really get much information abt steve cob's family in the show and all but there were a few mentions at some live QnAs, one of them told that his parents probably didn't care at all about his technological inventions and how that affects the way he treats mephone4's interests.

i now wonder if steve cobs also created meeple as some form of rebellion agaisnt them in a similar way to how inanimate insanity was a rebellion agaisnt cobs. for him to go out of his way to make what his parents didn't support. but then it also comes to mind what mephone4 says in the finale, that despite everything, it was still like he was doing it all for him. and well, the show indeed has brought a considerate amount of bad things to everyone involved, and it was a pretty bad coping mechanism-

could something similar also be happening with meeple if we consider it as a parallel to the show???? like, that being one of the reasons to why cobs acts like that

there's also Justin's newest livestream that also had a cobs thing, saying that he kind of feels the 'void' that losing contact with his parents them created, and that he seeks this comfort of a 'home', that being why he says "we're going home" at the end of ii17 and all. that could mean cobs is still somewhat impacted by his parents so--

idk i tried to formulate something readable here but idk. i fear for our future. (this all started with bow by the way. why does it have to be steven paul cobs out of all characters)

Hellooo! Saw your account and love your Mike and Chris content!! Was wondering if you have any cute relationship headcanons for these two qts? :33

hey anon! sorry for getting to you so late, i’ve been like a zombie recently it’s not fun LMAO BUT REGARDLESS OH MY GODDDDDDD STARTS JUMPING UP AND DOWN IN JOY YES OF COURSE I DO!!!! I HAVE SO MANY!!!! AHHHHHHHH AHHHHHH I LOVE THEM SO MUCHHHHH oh lord anon you’re about to give me a heart attack. i’m gonna explode from joy and autism. guys i literally love them so much im gonna start crying ohhh my babies!!! OK SHUT UP TRAVIS LETS START (sorry if there’s any typos i did NOT proofread this)

‣ chris is SUCHHH a yapper and mike is here for it!!! god forbid you mention anything about computers around him lord you will never hear the end of it. chris REALLLYYY likes computers and technology, it’s his special interest as a matter of fact!!! mike just enjoys listening to his voice and when get passionate about the things he really loves…he learns quite a bit from chris since his technology skills are..well…..he needs to work on them. mike will just relax and listen while he’s petting wolfie or snuggle up to chris, sure he doesn’t understand a solid 95% of it but he engages and asks questions when he can!!! sometimes though… if it’s late at night and if they’re both in bed or on the couch… he might fall asleep! it’s happened more times than mike would like to admit LMAO he just thinks his boyfriends voice is relaxing what more can i say!!! don’t worry mike gets his fair share of talking too, he has to hold himself back from interrupting bc he’s got a nasty habit of doing that and then chris can’t get back on track LOLLL it’s not that mike has malicious intent when he does that, it’s just like…he has that URGEEE he is STRUGGLING TO CONTAIN HIMSELF!!!! (adhd and autism combo goes CRAZY!!!!)

‣ mike absolutely LOVESSS physical touch like he can’t get enough!!! chris is like a damn heater too, he’s really warm and mike just wants some of that body heat yknow!! whether it be cuddling or hugging or holding hands, he shows his appreciation for chris that way ^^ chris often complains though bc his hands are fucking COLD like “mike, if i wanted to get hypothermia id cuddle with a big ice cube, not you” LOLL stop being mean!!! nah mike jokes along he’s used to his sarcastic nature…for every little quip chris says, mikes got another one up his sleeve hehe…chris really loves it too though. it helps him calm down when he’s feeling stressed or overwhelmed, just how gentle and soothing mike is with him in those moments, giving him little forehead kisses and running a hand over his cheek OHHHHH MY GODDD MY SHAYLASSS 😭😭 sometimes they don’t even talk, they just hold each other close and find comfort in each others warmth and love..they really savour those tender moments between them, yes they goof off and tease each other a ton but they really do love each other a lot!! and mike can’t stand being alone so he tends to hold onto chris to keep him close…

‣ they are opposites when it comes to ideal date preferences!! chris would rather stay at home and relax, have a movie and/or game night, maybe even visiting a museum if he’s up to it! meanwhile mike wants to go outside and feel the fresh air, whether that be going to the beach and letting wolfie run wild or an amusement park and let chris watch as he spectacularly misses every shot at balloon darts LMAOO we don’t talk about that time okay…chris had to win the prize for him..mike was so far but so close he just needed a LITTLE bit more aim. ok im getting sidetracked ANYWAYS despite them being opposites when it comes to that, they end up usually having a great time! i say usually bc chris sometimes ends up getting pretty overstimulated if they’re in a crowded environment like that and he gets really snappy and curt when he’s feeling that way, most of the time he’ll ask to go home early and they’ll just relax there… chris goes from all jokey and sweet to “ok” “whatever” “yeppp” that’s usually a big glaring sign for mike…honestly they don’t count half of that as dates, they just hang out and have fun together yknow?!

‣ chris is still learning to not be scared of wolfie whenever he comes over to mikes apartment…i mean i can’t blame him. wolfie is BIG and well A WOLF!!!! (don’t ask how he’s even allowed in the apartment, magic) he’s often hesitant to get too close to wolfie in fear of getting bitten but mike insists that’s never gonna happen…“he’s a good boy” mike says as his previous couch was DESTROYEDD LMAOOO listen his behavior has been improving!! wolfie is such a sweetheart he’s always trying to get chris to pet him and sniff him and try to lay down infront or beside him..sometimes even whining at him and nudging his leg or arm like AWWEEEE baby boy don’t worry chris will cuddle with you eventually….mike can tell when wolfie is near because chris gets closer to him and grabs onto his arm LOLLL he does his best to ease chris though and show him that wolfie isn’t a big bad wolf…he’s just a little…energetic at times! they’ve gotten to the point where chris can pet him OCCASIONALLY so progress is progress!!! he does have quite a bit of photos of wolfie though we know you love him chris!!

‣ mike has a habit to always try and impress chris yknow hes not a show off BUTTTT he likes it when chris compliments him..perhaps a bit too much..his impulsive side REALLY starts showing through in those moments. like they could be going on a nature walk and there’s a big stream and instead of crossing the bridge he’d be like “hey chris look at this, wanna bet i can clear it one jump?” and before chris can even respond he jumps across it BARELYYY making it in the process LMAO chris would be all sarcastic like “wow mike. let me go ahead and call national geographic about this, this is ABSOLUTELY groundbreaking, they need to make a movie about this kind of stuff.” meanwhile chris is smirking to himself and shaking his head he’s dating a DUMBASS!!! but mike is chris’s dumbass so it’s okay…most the time mike pulls off stunts like that pretty smoothly but the times he doesn’t? oh lord chris NEVER forgets about them. chris laughs for a bit then feels kinda bad and asks him if he’s okay while still laughing at him LOLL mike tries to play it off like he’s fine meanwhile he can barely stand and is wincing in pain MIKE!!! chris will obviously get concerned if it seems like he’s legitimately hurt himself though, his goofy attitude is dropped INSTANTLY he goes straight into caring mode…

‣ they always have the most meaningless arguments when they’re bored istg it’s a stretch to even call it that because it is so unserious LMAOO they will really get into whether or not cereal is a soup or if a hot dog is a sandwich!! or who would win in a hypothetical scenario of 5000 chickens vs 50 humans…like it always is such an odd, weird topic but they enjoy debating each other like that!! half the time neither of them even believe in the side they’re standing for, like mike will be the most FIRMMM denier that water isn’t wet but he’ll go with it anyways. its entertaining to them and anyone who might witness it though, like how are you even coming up with these analogies and why are you trying to confuse each other so much so the other gives up LOLLLL the winner gets bragging rights AND a kiss hehe whenever chris wins he is ALWAYS sure to gloat just to tease and mikes like “alright alright you nerd you got me this time” with a sigh LMAOOO it’s okay he’s only a little butthurt he thought he was doing great until chris pointed out a mistake…chris is actually surprisingly good at debate when he’s not trying to confuse mike and claim a victory bc of that LOL

‣ chris takes so many photos of mike you’d swear he was a professional photographer!!! they’re usually nice ones but sometimes he’s feeling a bit mischievous and takes some 0.5 ones when he’s passed out drooling, looking like he just ran 20 marathons and sends it to him when he gets up LMAOO or he’ll literally go up to him and put the camera mere inches from his face and be like “smile!” he can’t even react in time and then chris shows it to him as his lock screen LOLL it does stroke mikes ego hearing chris talk about how good he looks in a photo though..well not the silly ones. he’s like “chris wait don’t send that to anyone” “TOO LATE!!!” (he didn’t send it to anyone but mike is trying to steal the phone from him now LMAOO) no chris is the best cameraman. he will hit the most LUDICROUS insane positions to get the right angle!! and hey mike is photogenic so that helps a bunch too hehe chris is a little jealous he thinks mike is just so effortless like that…when chris makes a joke about himself looking bad, mike replies like“what? i didn’t know you were a liar, chris” right mike like he is such a CUTIE PIEEE he struggles to see it unfortunately….mike gets a bit sad when he hears chris make jokes about himself like that because he is SO BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUTTT 😭😭😭😭😭

‣ mike wasn’t a cat liker until he met chris’s kitties…they are ADORABLE oh my goodness i can see why they changed his attitude so quickly!! he used to think cats were bitchy and weren’t loyal like dogs were (his dad always said that cats weren’t) so it took awhile but they grew on him pretty quick! at first he’d just kinda eyeball them and shoo them if they got too close…chris was like “they’re friendly man” and mike was like “yeah…” MIKE!!! BE NICE YOURE A GUEST!! they stayed away from him mostly and he stayed away from them…a mutual distance. that wasn’t until one time nova (chris’s black kitty) curled up next to mike and chris one night on the couch that he let her stay…i mean chris was petting nova and he’s not about to kick his own friends cat off the couch yknow? she was all purry and cuddly though and mike had to admit to himself “okay maybe shes a LITTLE cute…” and they started to grow on him since then..his gallery is still majority wolfie whenever he visits he takes some cute photos of them and pets them!!! chris’s other cat, a birman named sherbert, is a lot more shy around mike LOLLL she needs some more time to warm up despite how long they’ve been together…mike doesn’t get as many photos or videos of her but that doesn’t mean he loves her any less!! he asks about the cats often and says them and wolfie should have a play date!!! chris would rather not though he doesn’t know what wolfie might do to his precious babies 😓

‣ they are such flirts with each other, moreso in private than in public but oh my goddd GET A ROOM YOU TWO!!!! you’re even worse than josh and sam smh…it took chris awhile to not get so utterly flustered when mike would “jokingly” hit on him, he’d always be like “what the hell, man?” and start sweating like crazy and blushing LOLL mike found it so adorable, sure he’d play it off before they were together but he enjoyed it…he knew chris did too. chris was NOTTT subtle when he’d want to hang out with mike a lot, josh suspected something was up between the two but thought mike didn’t swing that way…and he also thought chris liked ashley, not mike. i mean chris did, he liked both of them! things were just…different with ash after that one night. regardless, they’d hang out pretty often and play games, sometimes watching movies but chris would always fall asleep midway through so not much conversation then LMAOOO but there was so much tension between them oh my GODDD it was so thick you could slice right through it…now theyre more comfortable around each other, with mike especially it is like innuendo city here jeez get your mind out of the GUTTER!! chris still gets flustered but he’s able to return the energy better hehe…mike finds him adorable regardless of whether he gets all awkward or not.

want to do a smg4 shipping chart?

Post written: 25/06

Sorry for taking that long dude, I was busy with some other stuff and I was trying to keep up to date with some older episodes.

Which didn’t do much because, it a lot to me. kinda basic this shipping chart but I kinda figured up some stuff watching some episodes.

Also Marware and BoMG1 became my favorites with past of the days for a particular artist but shhh.

Another thing, at first I ship Chris and Swag but watching a couple of episodes that thought change, there are more like a couple of besties, same goes to Saiko and Kaizo, just to realize that’s a lesbian and a gay man, they wouldn’t be a couple to my eyes.

EDIT.

HAD TO EDIT THIS CHART DAYS LATER AFTER RECENTLY READING THE APPRENTICESHIP AU AND REALIZE THAT I WAS KICKING MY FEETS AND GIGGLING EVERY TIME MARIO AND MR. PUZZLES INTERACT

[jamandjazz]

I knew I had a flat voice but it didnt click in my head how bad it was until my sister called me fake for speaking so “animatedly” in front of my friends (cause they aren’t used to my regular voice so I make it nicer for them) while my friends would STILL consider my voice monotone as fuck

SPOILERS FOR MALEVOLENT EPISODE 20 ‘THE KING’

OH MY GOD *unintabgible screaming*

So, first listen through, had to pause in the middle (right as Arthur and John where about to go into the city further after meeting Mr. Kayne) and

UM WHAT????? THE ROLLER COSTER THAT WAS THIS EPISODE?????

Mr. Kayne…. Sir…. You are, interesting (I have been made aware that I misspelled his name earlier)

AND LILY oh my god Lily… 😭 I loved her so much, she was such a marker for John progression and a heart wrenching piece of proof that despite being a bastard he cares a lot, so much growth

and the whole ‘life is loss’ only for that to be a misdirect???? And not point that Kayne was trying to remind Arthur off??? But how that doesn’t even matter because while not his intended point it was inevitable anyway???? They couldn’t have saved lily… only brought her comfort and mercy???? John’s goodbye to her and Arthur’s goodbye to Faroe who he originally ventured into the city for????? The parallels between them????? I just,,,, god?????

THE THRONE FOR US LINE????????? Excuse me?????? (Hot throne sex fic please and thank you-)

THE WHOLE CONVERSATION BETWEEN THE KING AND ARTHUR???? THE DIALOGE LINES???? I AM NOT EVEN GOING TO LIE OR ATAMPT TO BE CHILL I AM CHEWING THAT SHIT UP

“John as you so lovingly call him”

“And yet you love him…”

“Do you hear how mad you sound?”

I AM CHEWING THE BARS OF MY ENCLOSURE LIKE A RABID ANIMAL

he loves him! He loves him he loves him! dude, for like a solid minute I was kicking my legs like a school girl as I rode on the public transit bus

and then king started snapping bones and I choked 💀

god damn, Arthur’s fucking going through it

and the ending???????????? I am

✨obsessing✨

I will be drawing scenes from this episode for soooooo long

“One bite is enough tourist the stomach of a grown man.”

“how many have you had? Four”

me rn with what imma be drawing and obsessing over for like, the next month

I can’t even describe how desperately I was screaming in my head for the last 30 seconds “KAYNE LAYNE GET UR ASS OVER HERE RN” and “KAYNE FIX THIS, YOUR CLEARLY POWERFUL FIX THIS, KAYNE YOU SAID YOUR WHERE ENTERESTWD DONT LET ARTHUR DIE HERE”

“KAYNE”

but just like in that Kirk yelling out ‘khan’ in the old movie way
